Rule

Courts must exercise independent judgment in determining the meaning of statutes; courts may not defer to an agency’s interpretation merely because a statute is ambiguous. Chevron U.S.A. v. NRDC is overruled.

Significance

Overruled Chevron deference after 40 years; courts now decide statutory meaning independently under Marbury v. Madison’s principle that it is the judiciary’s province to say what the law is.
